Heavy snowfall event over the Swiss Alps: did wind shear impact secondary ice production?

<p>The change in wind direction and speed with height, referred to as vertical wind shear, causes enhanced turbulence in the atmosphere. As a result, there are enhanced interactions between ice particles that break up during collisions in clouds which could cause heavy snowfall. For example, i...
